It then was revealed Sunday that Morris had fired his agent, Klutch Sports' Rich Paul, who represents LeBron James, Anthony Davis and several other NBA stars. According to the New York Daily News' Stefan Bondy, Morris turned down a three-year, $41 million contract with the Los Angeles Clippers before pivoting to the Spurs, who offered him less money and fewer years on his deal.

It's unclear who replaced Paul as Morris' agent, but the 29-year-old managed to get paid by the Knicks after another solid statistical season (13.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and a career-high 44.7 shooting percentage) in Boston.

Morris joins the Brooklyn Nets' Kyrie Irving and the Philadelphia 76ers' Al Horford as three ex-Celtics who will play the C's four times this season in the Atlantic Division.

One lesson each Celtics player can take away from World Cup

One lesson each Celtics player can take away from World Cup

Team Shamrock’s FIBA adventures ended with a whimper Saturday as — under the cloak of East Coast darkness — three of the four Celtics on Team USA logged DNPs (eight points for Jaylen Brown) while the Americans claimed seventh place with an 87-74 win over Poland. Combine that with the fact that Daniel Theis got limited reps with Germany’s early exit and Daniel Poirier hasn’t played big minutes while backing up Rudy Gobert for France and the World Cup experience wasn’t quite as robust as it could have been for the six Celtics players involved.

Still, there were positives to pluck and experiences gained by everyone involved, not the least of which is that a third of Boston’s roster will show up to camp on Oct. 1 in game-ready shape. Still, regardless of Team USA’s medal-less finish and the limited reps for Theis and Poirier, there’s at least one item or lesson that every player can bring with them into the new season.
